Listening Transcript

Kirsten is my best friend. She’s great to hang out with so we spend lots of hours together. Kirsten is a
bit lazy sometimes, just like me. Sport isn’t our idea of having fun. We prefer staying at home, surfing
the Net or chatting. She always listens to my problems and tries to cheer me up.

I first met her at football practice. We play in the same team. She’s alright, but she can be really
annoying at times. Paula isn’t such a good listener, mostly because she always thinks she’s right
about everything. She also wants people to do whatever she says and never changes her mind. This
can be really difficult sometimes, especially in football, because it’s a team sport and everyone must
work together.

I admire Fiona for her character. I’m shy, full of energy but also a bit lazy. Fiona is energetic and
makes me join her in all kinds of activities. She really believes in herself and
she always knows what she’s doing. I like her for that – if it wasn’t for her, I would just stay at home by
myself and do nothing.
